斐濟島科科莫私人島嶼酒店(Kokomo Private Island Fiji)

My husband and I had a thoroughly magical week at Kokomo in November. It is a pinch-me place. Much has been written here about the amazing service and experiences, so I will add some specific tips: -Make sure to visit the Kokocabana restaurant by the pool. At first we dismissed it thinking it was just a pizza place for kids, but the chef, Enzo, is from Napoli and came to our table on our first visit to find out what we like and then brought out one delicious dish after another. I think it’s not as popular as the Plank because it’s not on the beach, but don’t miss out on Enzo’s food. -Stay on west side for sunsets and less wind. -Take time to talk with the staff. Such beautiful and friendly people work there who are happy to share interesting stories of their families and their home islands. I found Fijians to be very warm, and they don’t hesitate in asking questions. -Do the farm tour. Very interesting to see how veggies and fruits are grown in challenging conditions, plus you get a backstage peek at the impressive infrastructure on island. -Explore the Great Austrolabe Reef if you snorkel or dive. One of the largest barrier reefs in the world. Dive staff are great. -Check out the coral nurseries in the house lagoon (the marine scientists on staff are doing good work).

We hadn’t travelled since Covid it was a combination of celebrations for us, my husbands 50th birthday was in May, our 23rd Wedding Anniversary as well as our Daughter’s 21st Birthday which was only 2 weeks before and I was having my 53rd Birthday at Kokomo. Where do I start, if I could give this 11/10 I would. My family and I have travelled all over the world and stayed in a lot of beautiful resorts. It has been almost 17 years since we have visited Fiji. I booked 8 nights at Kokomo to spend some bonding time as a family. We have identical twin sons that are 19 and a daughter as mentioned who is 21. My husband and I were at the mind set this could be our last “family” holiday without partners etc I couldn’t have asked for more, or wished for more it was wonderful. From the moment we arrived at the hanger in the waiting lounge with a glass of champs. Michael our helicopter pilot was terrific, pointing out all the resorts, surfing breaks and reefs that in itself was a great start. We were taken to the main lounge area at the “Beachshack” and what a welcome greeting with all the staff singing to us. Dan showed us to our sunset 3 brm villa that just exceeded my expectations, I knew from the photos it was going to be stunning but I got quite emotional it was just perfect. The views were breathtaking and you walk straight out from your villa and go snorkelling as the reef is just out the front. The following day was my birthday after a huge breakfast, (you won’t go hungry here) the food is just delicious and spoilt for choices and my sons in particular loved the all day dining it’s not just burgers there is steak and crab linguine or you can have food delivered from one of the 3 restaurants too if you prefer to stay in. We had our 45min massages that were included with our stay. Dan amd Miriam organised my birthday dinner that was so special the table set up with fresh flowers in our beachfront villa which I wanted was next level. The attention to detail, I had shown Dan my wedding photos an hour before dinner and he noticed in the photos I had Frangipani lei on so he arranged a Frangipani lei for me, Miriam organised Lei the photographer to take some beautiful family photos and let’s not forget my birthday coconut cake just topped it off. They also had a waitress to serve all our favourite food to us for the evening , a big thank you to the chefs Andy for the amazing seafood and Caroline for thd tasty curry don’t miss Monday curry night. Dan and staff came back to sing a beautiful happy birthday song to me after we had dinner, I will remember my 53rd birthday for the rest of my life. Kava night was another special moment some more bonding, as I sat back watching my family laughing, singing and drinking kava. Our sons joined in a game of touch footy with the boys from Baywatch, again so much fun. Stephen who organised a cocktail making class activity which we enjoyed so much. I made a cocktail that night at the managers cocktail

This is such a fabulous resort and reaching it by helicopter was a superb experience. We were greeted by the manager,Grant, and then staff singing and playing guitars as a welcome - my wife was moved to tears! Here to celebrate my big birthday and we could not fault the warm friendly staff who quickly became our friends. Everyone from gardeners to the chef were so cheery and happy you immediately felt they love working here. Nothing was too much trouble and they were so flexible with timings for meals ,activities in fact just about anything. Our villa was large,first class and overlooked the beautiful bay as we enjoyed lovely sunsets. Food was exceptional and full of innovative flavours without being over powering. There is plenty to do here and we enjoyed a full days fishing, though we never managed to catch the big game fish but were happy with the large snappers. The wine choice is excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed a wine tasting session with the very knowledgable sommelier - Stephen. You must also try Ben’s cocktails. You often see glamourised videos and pictures of resorts only to be disappointed when you arrive. Well you wont be with Kokomo Island - it is exactly what you see on their website. Their farewell, again with singers etc,was equally as moving as their welcome! Five days of bliss and we cannot wait to return. Thank you Grant and all the family at Kokomo Island

Stop reading and just book it! This is as top notch of a resort as there is. We have been to Four Seasons, Aman, One & Only and all in between and it's the best of the best! I traveled with my wife and 2 kids (3 and 10 months) and from the moment you land in Nadi the Kokomo team whisks you away to their private hanger. The hanger is beautiful, they have bathrooms and showers to change before the seaplane and kids room for the little ones. When we landed at Kokomo we were greeted by Heather and her team to the most amazing welcome entrance. We were then upgraded to a residence which was INSANE! The entire staff on the island treated us as family and catered to all of our needs. I would recommend staying on the west side of the island. It's closer to the everything and the water is much calmer for swimming. There are so many activities on the island to do and the only regret is not being there long enough.

My wife & I travelled to Fiji from San Francisco. Stayed at Kokomo from May 27th -May 30 . I have rated them Excellent for the following reasons... 1) Welcome & Exit islands local songs by the resort team 2) Food choices were very palate satiating 3) Activity for every day was filled with lots of fun 4) Visiting another private island & Glass bottom boat for sighting corals were memorable 5) Sea plane trips on time & comfortable Our Thanks to the following personnel's & all Restaurant employees 1) Caroline (Chef at the the Plank Restaurant) For take home sauces 2) Shyamal Director for the buggy trip around the facilities 3) Kali (Everyday coordinator for arranging activities) NARAYAN

Right from when we arrived at the Kokomo hanger in Nadi we were impressed, we were greeted and given tea or coffee and snacks. We were then loaded onto the helicopter and had a most enjoyable flight across to the Island, the Captain was most informative and gave us a good scenic flight. When we arrived at the Island we were taken down to the reception and were met by a chorus of wonderful Fiji greeting songs performed by all the staff. The Island is spectacular with wonderful blue green water and white sand. We were taken to our room and what a surprise, very large with our own swimming pool and facing the blue water and white sand. All the staff here are something else, so friendly and extremely helpful. The layout of the Island is easy to navigate if you want to walk, but there is also a porter service that all you have to do is call reception and in a very short time a friendly porter is at your door taking you to your destination. You have the choice of three restaurants all with a different theme and the food is excellent again with friendly accommodating chefs, who can cater for all your wants. The fishing here is great and the crew on the fishing vessels are helpful and knowledgeable there is a variety of fish to catch all in a short ride out from the Island. My Wife and I have traveled extensively and going to numerous 4 and 5 star resorts. Kokomo, is a step ahead of any we have visited, to rate Kokomo as a 5 star is an underestimate I would add at least another making it a 6 star property. We certainly will come back again

We have recently stayed at Amankila in Bali, St Regis in Bali, Mandarin Oriental Canouan, One & Only Mandarina, St Regis Bora Bora, Conrad Bora Bora, and many other top-tier resorts around the world. In our experience, Kokomo Private Island is the best of the best.

It’s been over a week since my family and I returned from the pretty sandy shores of Kokomo Private Island. Located an hour away from mainland Fiji, this luxury resort is by far one of the best places we have visited in our one of hundred vacations. From the welcoming song, bula smiles to the point where you get comfort in your villa, every one went out of their way to treat us so well. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel great and certainly they sit well in carrying out their luxury Kokomo brand. A special mention must go to Caroline - Head Chef at Walker D Plank for her extraordinary customer service, she smiled, she sat down, and she made us feel like royalty for a day. From her Asian menus to her delicious pork ribs, Caroline can whip up anything, as my husband says she has the hands of god, and more so a wonderful person behind that chefs attire. She cannot be missed. Second special mention must go to a back of house staff, Josh, who probably did computer science but should definitely be working with guest experience manager, Josh caught us walking from spa to the shack and offered us a lift, it was just amazing how Josh carried his words, not once making us feel like bored, he went out his way to drop us at the shack. What was more surprising is even after our dinner, and now upon writing this, makes us miss Josh a little too much today, a strong contender to lead guest experiences in near future, like my husband says. And lastly, to Leba, her warmth and love was genuinely shown upon as she served us our plates at the shack. And the nanny’s who took care of our kids deserve a special mention too. We will definitely be coming back to visit Kokomo over and over again, the amazing staff, and evenings dinners with Caroline, and hopefully run into Josh again. Thank you for making us feel special and cared for. Vinaka vaka Levu Love, Bowen Family

PHENOMENAL. It felt like a dream. From the moment we arrived at the hanger, had wonderful service and conversations with the staff (Vika) who were more than happy to give you a glimpse of what life on the island is like. The welcome arrival song serenaded to every guest is just the tip of what you can expect from the Kokomo family, and the real Fijian spirit. I can't comment enough about the staff and service at every turn. Every staff seems to know your name and room number, and are always there with a hearty BULA and a smile. From the little touches like a personalized water bottle, to the spa experience, the activities, and the accommodation. Liba, the restaurant manager is so warm and charming, always ready with the laugh. Gym is very well stocked, and is one of the best hotel gyms I have seen. Grounds are very well maintained, and housekeeping are phenomenal ninjas. Food was exquisite.
